The Snoopy Rex

The Snoopy Rex wasn't really an idea that haunted me, but I drew him anyway.

Zoolander?

What if Daisy Duck teams up with Derek Zoolander? What did I draw here?

East of Porterville

I returned to an older work of mine for a few small additions, which was one of the central pieces in my exhibition at the Karikaturmuseum Krems.
Anyway, the reason is that I stumbled upon a small painting by Carl Barks by chance. Going with the title "East of Porterville" (#21-69, 1969, Carl Barks). And—due to the similar layout—it reminded me of my work. The two paintings clearly tell different stories; Barks' is obviously showing an abandoned house, the mailbox having since become a nesting place for songbirds. Mine, on the other hand, emphasizes an architectural idea. What Donald Duck's "ordinary" suburban house, with its gabled roof and all the rest we know from it, would look like if Carl Barks had opted for a modernist version.
In any case, I had now borrowed the little songbird from Barks's painting. It somehow completes the picture now.

ACME Jetpack Upgrade

I've never posted Daffy Duck's jetpack upgrade before, have I?
Now I have. Clearly inspired by Wile E. Coyote's Acme Bat-Man's outfit (Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z, (1956) Warner Bros. Looney Tunes); not the color scheme, but you know, the wings and all.

Freshly tapped anger clouds

Freshly tapped clouds of anger, straight from Donald Duck's head. Just a moment after they're created, they are filled into transparent balloons and ready to be carried around. It's currently a hit at Duckburg's annual fairground.

Unfortunately, the business idea doesn't come from Donald himself, but from Uncle Scrooge. Donald is furious, which, in turn, is good for business and production performance.

(You can see a rough color drawing of Donald Duck selling transparent balloons filled with his trademark dark clouds of anger.)

Donald Duck,twice different

Two of my favorite adaptations of Donald Duck. One blends Donald Duck with Popeye the Sailor, the other strictly follows the actual anatomy of a real duck, at least as far as the head is concerned.

Pencil horn

The troll who grew a pencil instead of a second horn.

Mouseling, Mickey

Somehow I evaporated Mickey Mouse into something I didn't want and now I like it.

(A drawing of a mouse resembling Mickey Mouse, but this one is of elementary school age and has thick, fluffy black fur. He also doesn't wear the famous red button-up pants or yellow shoes. The mouse's gaze appears focused and cheeky.)

The Nautilus Dime

The "Nautilus Dime" is Scrooge McDuck's orca-shaped special submarine for use in the deepest areas of his coin-filled money bin.

Pencils, Duck And Creatures

Drawing around, inventing around, looking for shapes, all very roughly and without the goal of finalizing the drawing.

A short history in pictures of the development that ultimately led, along very winding paths, to 'The Six Million Dollar Car' and its 'Dark Matter Version'.

Every sheet is a multiple original. In the case of the red version, the banana on each sheet is hand-drawn by me; in the dark version, it is the jet of flame that shoots out of the rear of the car. Each sheet is unique and part of these consistent editions, limited to a number of only 34 (dark) or 17 (red) pieces. Printed on Edition Duerer® high quality textured drawing paper. Exactly the very paper I use for drawing.

About the work:
With this work I returned to one of my favorite works. The 'FAT 313'. A "fusion satire" or parody and at the same time homage to Donald Duck himself, his no less famous '313', the artists Maurizio Cattelan, Erwin Wurm, Manfred Deix and last but not least, duck father Carl Barks. In my original work (from 2020/2021), I had taped Donald Duck Cattelan's famous banana to the cap and the FAT 313, based on Erwin Wurm's fat car, simply stood fat and silent on its wheels.
Here, in this reboot of the parody, things have literally started moving, I wanted to see the FAT 313 drive. Among other things, the radiator grille now resembles a turbine engine and the banana sticks to the outside wall of the chassis to increase the value of the vehicle. Hence the title 'The Six Million Dollar Car' (6MDC).

The Dark Matter Version of the 6MDC: I followed the idea of trying to create my own alter ego version of Donald Duck. Which then led to Donald Dark. The difference to Donald's other alter egos is that he is not aware of this when he changes into the Donald Dark character. Similar to Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. And what better way to illustrate the transformation than to extend it to the 313.

Vehicle design at BAE Paris

Here is a small excerpt from the live demos that I did at BAE Paris. As you can clearly see, André Franquin is somehow in every one of these lines. I think no one has had more influence on the way I see and draw vehicles than him.

100th Anniversary: The New Yorker

The New Yorker celebrated its 100th birthday on February 17th. And with it the magazine's own iconic fictional character Eustace Tilley, drawn by Rea Irvin. This drawing is one of many attempts by me to portray this character, or rather, to cite certain elements of him, in my own very own way. I wasn't quite finished with this drawing, but I just left it unfinished, on purpose. I like the scratchy nature of it. Anyway, New York cartoonist Jason Chatfield wrote a wonderful article the day before yesterday about the anniversary of this unique magazine. His text also contains a comment on my Tilley mash-ups, which of course made me very happy and makes me a little part of this special anniversary: Jason Chatfield
